The owner of ABM, the German company that manufactured the Les Trem, passed away a few months back, and the company stated it was going out of business.
The option is off the website for now, as we no longer have any units available.
However, just recently, ABM was sold and now claim they will be back in production sometime in March. We'll see, in the meantime we are considering alternatives.
There may be Les Trem equipped guitars still available from dealers. Please inquire directly with the dealers, as we do not keep track of what the dealers have available.
Thanks,
Joe

Sorry to hear about ABM. I have one of their bridges on a guitar, a nice solid piece of machined brass, excellent component. But I'm glad to hear they'll be back under new owners. Good luck with the replacements.

That's a bummer, it's a cool unit the Les Trem. So there are no Reverens with trems at all now? Need to get that sorted for sure!

Glad I got one on my Volcano.
It seem to give More it Balance because of the weight.

I actually posted that question a while back....and everybody looked at it and said "yuck"....I guess the look wasn't popular...
They do look solid though.

Mr. Powerusa,
I talked last week with two different reps at stewmac, and each said their company would have the trem at the end of April. We'll see...I need one!
1 800 848 2273--just to make sure...

I bet he's in the shop designing his own.
Wouldn't they be smoother and more stable with gears? I'd like a trem that I could rock the heel of my hand across,rather than pulling on a bar.

Joe mentioned in this thread that they probably won't be bringing the Les Trem back.
